AUTOMATED TREATMENT FACILITIES

Whether your ATF is classed as a breakers yard or scrap dealership, the likelihood is that you’re dealing with end of life vehicles and it’s only a matter of time before some of these vehicles include electric cars powered by lithium-ion batteries.

Unlike lead-acid batteries, their lithium counterparts pose a significant fire risk and need specialist treatment. Storage can represent a challenge from a health and safety perspective, and it is vital that they are dealt with compliantly. Some ATFs are reluctant to accept electric vehicles, but this does not have to be the case. Cawleys’ Lithium Battery Recycling Solutions are one of the few organisations to offer a full solution for all damaged and expired lithium batteries. This includes advice and equipment for safe storage, compliant transportation with a dangerous goods licence and full dismantling for ethical recycling in our specialist lithium battery workshop.
